I would respectfully argue that it is impossible for Maria Franke who was married to Jacob van Reenen to have died in 1746.

Her and Jacob van Reenen's son Gysbert van Reenen ( Gysbert van Reenen ) was only born on 7 Nov 1763 ( https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000172274788285 ) and baptised on 13 Nov 1763 ( https://www.geni.com/documents/view?doc_id=6000000017477382001 )

Hi Michaela
Thanks for the message. I have corrected the date. I think I had the marriage date as a death date.
All the best
John

John, what do you think about the NAAIRS index that I mentioned in my message to the managers of the profile for Maria Dorothea :

The NAAIRS document starts in 1774 and ends in 1776 and records Maria Catharina as the wife of Jacobus van Reenen

http://www.national.archsrch.gov.za/sm300cv/smws/sm30ddf0?202104112...

Could it be that the Maria Franke or Franken that was married to Jacobus van Reenen was not Maria Dorothea but Maria Catharina? On baptisms of her children and citation for her marriage she appears only as Maria. No middle name. This could have caused confusion with her date of death.
